Norwegian black metal icons MAYHEM are commemorating the release of their 1994 landmark De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas full-length with a worldwide live takeover performing the monumental record in its entirety. The band recently wrapped up their critically-lauded Purgatorium Americæ Septentrionalis MMXVII tour with support from Black Anvil and Inquisition and will return to the road for a near-month-long European jaunt.

Set to commence on March 24th in Karlstad, Sweden and run through April 16th in Munich, Germany, the Purgatorium Europæ Septentrionalis MMXVII tour includes stops at the Vienna Metal Meeting and Dark Easter Metal Meeting. Support will be provided by Dragged Into Sunlight on select dates. See all confirmed dates below.

"MAYHEM brings De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas to Europe once again," comments the band. "After hugely successful tours in South and North America, several festival shows, as well as a short tour in France, Netherlands, and Poland last year, the band now embark on a longer European run. In addition to main support Dragged Into Sunlight, who will be present for most of the shows, other local supports have been specially selected to ensure the right atmosphere."

MAYHEM recently self-released De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive. Captured live in Norrköping, Sweden in 2015 during the band's headlining set at the Black Christmass Festival, the show marked MAYHEM's first time ever playing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in full. De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Alive was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Tore Stjerna and NBS Audio and produced by vocalist Attila Csihar and guitarist Teloch with light production by Anne Weckstrom, stage design and production by Jonas Svensson, video recording by Thornfields Production, and video editing by Tamàs Tarczi. The offering is available now on CD, LP, and DVD (the first 1000 copies are numbered), as well as digitally.

"On all ends of the stage, MAYHEM stood triumphantly in front of a sea of devil horns and thrashing fans. By the end of the night, nothing was left standing." - Currently Streaming

"MAYHEM was nothing short of perfect. Any metalhead at the show who would tell you otherwise is not worth the weight in sweated out salt by the hundreds packed into the venue joyously rooting the savages on from MAYHEM." - Vancouver Weekly

"In a sea of fog, this performance of De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas realizes black metal as it was meant to be: an Impressionist's rendering of damnation and the disavowal of organized religion's dogmatic, style-over-spirit presumptions of authority in matters of faith on earth." -- Factory Worker Media

"When Csihar wasn't delivering his haunting, horrific growl/gurgle/chant/scream vocals, he was gesturing and contorting wildly to the music or conducting ceremonial rites over a candle-laden altar set up before Hellhammer's expansive drumkit. Add the banner of Nidaros Cathedral from De Mysteriis' cover art behind it all, and it truly felt like black mass in the church of the damned." -- KNAC

"As the stage was lit a deep shade of purple, the eeriness and sinister energy promptly filled the Social Hall. Once all the instrumentalists of MAYHEM were on stage, the crowd rapturously responded with howls of 'Fucking MAYHEM!' and the sold-out crowd wouldn't relent even in the end. A known showman, Attila Csihar made a rather chaotic entrance and made it impossible to be distracted during the performance." - Heathen Harvest

"Frontman Attila Csihar put on amazing performance as frontman, laying down some of most depraved and unique screams I've heard in a while... Legendary extreme metal drummer Hellhammer breathed new life into each song, increasing the tempo and adding more chaos and complexity to the original drum parts that he recorded... MAYHEM put their all into it and as ominously as they appeared on stage, they exited off in similar fashion, regressing into the void of the pitch-black stage. Fans wanted more..." - Metal Assault

"MAYHEM's entrance to the stage was ominous. By the light of two candles, the hooded guitarists appeared to the sound of a bell and some ritualistic chanting. The fast and high-pitched introduction to 'Funeral Fog' began, and lead singer Attila appeared fully cloaked and casting a massive, dark shadow on the crowd." - Metal Wani

We here at BAH Magazine we asked to get the word out about one of our favorite bands Alter Bridge and the single "My Champion", we were ready and willing to help! Our review of the album can been seen here: http://www.bahmagz.com/2016/10/album-review-alter-bridge-last-hero-4.html but I wanted the fans to let the world know what the song and Alter Bridge means to them and they have shared some amazing stories in tribute to "My Champion" please enjoy!

James Schmid from Waterloo, Ontorio. Alter Bridge provides everything you'd expect from a rock radio hit, while also giving die hard AB fans everything they expect from their beloved band with My Champion.
The song opens with a guitar riff reminiscent of Def Leppards "Photograph" before hitting you square in the face with a "heavy for radio" sound that remains catchy without disappointing their "we like it fast and hard" fans. Their fan base, and music ranges in such a wide spectrum, it…

Hailing from
the colorful and music inspired Minneapolis, Minnesota comes the
unique blend of female fronted Metal/Rock/Industrial that is Gabriel And The Apocalypse. The
band delivers a fierce yet beautiful array of female fronted aggression that
will give their predecessors a run for their money.

The
brainchild of vocalist Lindy Gabriel, Gabriel And The Apocalypse independently
put out 2 releases which were backed by numerous national support tours around
the United States. Their intense and and professional style videos also paved
the way for the group to become an underground sensation. It was this
self produced success that led GATA to ink a deal with Pavement Entertainment
to which they immediately began work on their new album "The Ghost Parade". This new release (available October 7, 2016) is sure to propel the
band to new heights with major worldwide distribution and exposure. To kick off
the album's release GATA will tour with horror rock favorite Wedn…

Cane Hill brought their Louisiana industrial sound to the
Chameleon Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on March 11th of 2017. It
was a Saturday night which meant the people of PA were ready to party! There is
always a party following this band. Their energetic sound ignites something in
people. As they took the stage as the opener of the “Let’s Get
Abducted Tour” the crowd was anxious. They played multiple songs from their
2016 summer released album “Smile” and to the bands surprise most of the folks
watching them were mouthing the words. As they recently got back from touring
overseas it has come to their attention that they are steadily gaining
popularity. The link below allows you to find where they will be next along

for you. http://wearecanehill.com/
